In the Current

In the esoteric dimension of an Ayahuasca ceremony, the “current” refers not merely to the flow of energy within the space but to the intelligent, living stream of spiritual force that arises when intention, prayer, and sacrament align. This current is the sacred river of consciousness that carries the entire ceremony; it is what connects the visible and invisible, the human and the divine, the personal and the cosmic. Like an electric current, it animates the ritual field, making it fertile ground for healing, revelation, and transformation. It is simultaneously a transmission from the celestial realms and a reflection of the collective vibration of those present. One might say the current is the soul of the ceremony in motion - dynamic, responsive, and guided by unseen hands.

The current is not created by any one person but emerges through the precise alignment of multiple forces: the force of our sacred medicine, the shared devotion of the participants, and the presence of the Divine beings who are called into the space. Once invoked, the current moves like a river of light, adjusting, pulsing, sometimes softly and other times like a storm. It has intelligence. It teaches. It tests. It heals. To attune to this current is to enter into a sacred dialogue with the Divine Mother, to ride her serpentine waters through the labyrinths of the soul. Those who learn to sense and tend this current become stewards of the invisible architecture that holds the ceremony together—anchors in the storm, channels for grace, and keepers of the mystery.

The current also calls us into the present, as the word implies. It is an invitation to be here, in the present moment, where the medicine speaks and the mystery unfolds. The current only flows in the present moment—it cannot be grasped in the past or anticipated in the future. To enter the current is to surrender to presence itself, to dissolve our resistance and be carried by something greater. In this sense, the current becomes a river of sacred now-ness, an alchemical stream in which time bends, veils lift, and the eternal becomes momentarily accessible. Those who learn to feel and follow this current become vessels of its wisdom, anchoring the ceremony in presence, channeling healing, and holding space for the unfolding of divine intelligence.

The current can also be symbolized by the infinity sign—an eternal loop that flows without beginning or end. This symbol mirrors the way the ceremonial current moves: continuously cycling between the seen and unseen, above and below, the inner and the outer. It is the dance of dualities held in sacred union—masculine and feminine, light and shadow, spirit and matter. In the ceremony, this infinity current becomes the pulse of life itself, reminding us that healing is not linear, but can be seen more as a spiral, reminding us that that time is not a straight line, but a living rhythm that folds into itself. To surrender to the current is to enter this infinite flow, where every breath, every song, every revelation exists not in isolation but as part of an eternal movement of becoming. Within this sacred loop, the now becomes the gateway to the eternal, and the ceremony becomes a living expression of that timeless truth.
